When Russell’s brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) returns home from serving time in Iraq, he gets lured into one of the most ruthless crime rings in the Northeast and mysteriously disappears. The police fail to crack the case, so – with nothing left to lose – Russell takes matters into his own hands, putting his life on the line to seek justice for his brother. Sometimes your battles choose you.”

The movie that was written and directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart). It also has a great cast of actors that includes Casey Affleck,Forest Whitaker, Willem Dafoe, Sam Shepard, andZoe Saldana. As the trailer shows, many of these actors have either won or been nominated for Academy Awards.
